Description
Highly accessible and authoritative account of how wind energy is safely harnessed to address the ever-pressing climate and energy challenges
Onshore and Offshore Wind Energy provides an in-depth treatment of wind energy's scientific background, current technology, and international status, with an emphasis on large turbines and wind farms, both onshore and offshore. In the newly revised and fully expanded second edition, the highly qualified authors add on technological advances in the field including offshore wind turbine structures, foundation design, installation, grid integration, and reliability, and offer guidance on operation and maintenance.
The text is supported by copious illustrations and about 50 inspiring full-color photographs from around the world. To further aid in reader comprehension and information retention, questions with answers and problems are included in each chapter. An accompanying website includes figures, tables, and solutions of the problems.
The book is an essential primer for new entrants to the wind industry and to students on undergraduate and graduate courses on renewable energy. It also offers a unique treatise of the sustainability of emerging transformative technologies, which makes it useful to both system analysts and energy policy strategists.
In Onshore and Offshore Wind Energy, readers can expect to find information on:
- Technology evolution and deployment experiences in China, Taiwan, EU, and US wind farms, plus common access issues
- Production and installation, manufacturing and logistics processes, material usage and recycling, and installation techniques
- Grid integration with materials on mini-grids and synergies with solar, hydropower, and wave power
- Life cycle sustainability, recycling, and the role of wind energy in climate and energy justice, plus vertical axes turbines and multi rotor turbines
Onshore and Offshore Wind Energy is aimed at a wide readership including professionals, policy makers, and employees in the energy sector in need of a basic appreciation of the underlying principles of wind energy or a quick update, along with second and third year undergraduate and postgraduate students.
